Cover Reveal: Narrow Margins by JJ Harper
Narrow Margins
Well known as a playboy,
Griff Broderick, MotoGP world champion, didn’t realize a chance meeting in a
club would lead to him looking at his life in a whole new way. What was more
surprising to him, the person who changed his life was a man!
Twelve hours after the
greatest night of his life, a knock on his door threatens to take that life
away from him. Choosing to take the chance, Griff ignores the offers of help
from the one person who knew the truth: Corrie Deschamps. Losing his job, Griff
has time to ponder his errors and mistakes. He knows, the biggest one was
losing Corrie.
Corrie Deschamps, injured
army veteran, knows the night with Griff Broderick was only a one night thing
but the stubborn man’s refusal to accept his help has Corrie frustrated. Was
Griff really so ashamed to admit he was with a man? But then Corrie stumbles
into a life he never expected, with a man he thought he’d never see again: his
brother, Raff McMahon. He tries to forget the one night he spent with Griff
Broderick, the greatest night of his life.
Another meeting, at De’ath
of You Enterprise headquarters, brings them together again. Corrie’s reaction
is not one Griff, or the owners of De’ath of You, expected. Refusing to have
anything to do with him, Corrie storms off.
Griff knows how hard he is
going to have to work to prove himself to Corrie, to get his forgiveness for
rejecting him and his help. How can he prove Corrie is the man for him? That he
will never want another person, male or female.
Corrie doesn’t trust
Griff, never believing the gay-for-you premise, but he wants him. Corrie’s body
yearns for him. Can he get over his fears and accept him into his life, and
into his heart?
Will Griff be prepared to
be seen with another man? Will he accept his sexuality? What happens when he
gets bored and wants to return to the race track and MotoGP? Is there a place
for Corrie in that lifestyle?
It’s time for them to man
up and claim the love and life they want.
This is a gay love story
and involves hot, steamy sex between two men and is therefore recommended for
readers over the age of eighteen.
Teaser for Narrow Margins
I watch the sleazy girl as
her eyes light, and, with hardly a glance in my direction, she traipses away
with Pipes. He looks over and winks. I know that wink: he has no plans to
introduce her to Casey. I laugh out loud as a huge frame bumps into me there
and I feel the slop of cold beer drench my shirt.
“Whoa, sorry, man, it’s a
tight squeeze in here tonight.” The bright blue eyes twinkle mischievously at
me as his smile sends a jolt through me. Okay, that’s new, but I’m buzzing and
not because of any alcohol, simply high from the win.
“Hey, no problem, it’s
bound to happen, it’s crazy in here tonight.” I smile back, what the fuck! This
guy throws beer over me and I’m fine?
“I’m really sorry; please,
let me buy you a drink.” His smile draws me close to him, what the hell is
going on? But, damn if he doesn’t smell good.
“I’d like that, thank you.
I’m Griff.” I smile back and hold out my hand. He laughs and grabs it, I can
feel the rough hardened skin grasp mine and the feeling sends bolts of electricity
through my body, straight to my dick. Fuck! What is happening here?
“I think everyone knows
who you are, but it’s great to meet you, Griff. I’m Corrigan, well, Corrie to
my friends.” I watch a gorgeous blush spread up his neck and over his cheeks.
“Okay then, Corrie,” I
wink, “shall we take a seat?” Did I just wink at a hot dude? Fuck, did I just
think he was hot?
I guide him over to the
roped-off section, two burly men, dressed in black, standing either side of it.
Noticing he has a slight limp, I slow my gait for him to keep up. The men greet
me with a nod and the one on the right unhooks the clasp of the thick, red rope
to open it for us. I lead Corrie through to the alcoves, lining one side of the
club, exclusive to the riders and their guests.
I take the few steps up to
the half level and sit down on the dark leather seats, moving up to make room
for Corrie to join me. I watch a smile spread across his face and a chuckle
escapes him as he focuses on me again.
“Why were you slumming it
up against the bar when you could’ve been here?” His eyes widen as he gets a
good look around.
“Yeah, it’s not really my
scene, it’s normally full of dicks just taking their pick of the girls dancing
down there.” I shrug and look at the scantily-clad girls desperate to be
noticed.
“Oh, yeah, nor mine,
although it’s been a while since I’ve been anywhere like this.” A strange look
of loss crosses his features.
“Been away?” Then, as a
server comes up to take our order, I ask, “What do you want, Corrie?”
He peers up as if he’s
been miles away. “Oh, just a beer for me, please.” He smiles at the pretty girl
and, damn, that sends a sharp pain to my chest.
She walks away to fetch us
two beers.
“So, how come you’ve been
away from all of this?” I wave my hand in the direction of the club.
“Oh, Afghanistan has been
my home for a while.” He smiles sadly, there’s more to it than this, but who am
I to pry?
“Thank you for your
service. You must be very proud.” I smile, I want this man to like me. I don’t
know why though.
“No, I don’t think killing
people is ever something to be proud of.” His low voice and sad words have me
reaching out to touch him. My hand covers his and his eyes shoot up to mine.
“I’m sorry, it was a dumb
thing for me to say. I’m always saying dumb things when I’m nervous.” God! I’m
jabbering away. Shut the fuck up, Griff. Get a grip.
“Why should you be
nervous? This is your party, you’re Griff Broderick, World Champion again! That’s
huge, man.” This time, Corrie’s smile is happier.
“Yeah? I don’t know,
there’s something about you that makes me nervous.” It’s my turn to lower my
voice. I notice he hasn’t moved his hand away from mine. In fact, he turns it
over so his fingers link with mine.
“I get that, you’re doing
something to me I never expected.” Corrie’s eyes bore into mine.
“What’s that?” I swallow
hard, almost dreading his answer.
“You’re the great Griff
Broderick, always surrounded by beautiful women. I didn’t expect you to be
interested in me.”
“Neither did I, fuck!
You’re making me think and want things I’ve never even considered before.” I
feel a blush spreading across my cheeks and I duck my eyes down, away from him.
Why the hell am I am saying these things? “Shit, I can’t believe I’ve just said
that to you.”
“And what’s that? What do
I make you want?” Corrie’s husky voice hits me and my dick shoots to attention.
“Jeez, this is gonna sound
crazy but I want you.” I stutter the words, not believing I said that out loud.

M/M Novella
Because loves deserves a second chance.
After being cast out by
his family Nico leaves his home town and his one true love Ryan. A meeting of a
fellow outcast leads him down a dark and ultimately dangerous road. Discarded
and left for dead Nico is found by a man who helps him turn his life around,
but even with success and fame Nico is lost without his love by his side.
The chance sighting of a
Ten Year School Reunion on a social media site gives him the excuse to return
home. He needs to apologize to the man he still loves, hoping he will accept
it. Deep down he wants him back but imagines him married to a man who deserves
him, not a coward that ran.
‘The
ache for Ryan has been so strong and so real it has taken every ounce of
strength I have to keep away, to let him lead his life without me. With me
being a deadbeat, a loser and no good for anyone. Or so I’ve been told.’
Ryan retires from the army
after the death of his mother, settling again in his home town and his new life
as a cop. Still single, his heart has always belonged to the one man he wasn’t
able to keep. As the reunion gets closer Ryan searches for his man’s name as
the list of attendees grows…
It’s there…Nico Angeles.
He’s coming, he’s coming home!
Will they be able to
forget the past or has the last ten years apart been too long?

Italian man.

body and, no longer able to hold back my emotions or my words, I stutter, “I
love you,” into his hair as my lips cover his head with kisses. “I love you
